To the editor:
I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer — gee whiz I wish it would warm it up.
The cold of November is fast approaching and Election Day looms.
The Obama Care vote of last week (5-4) was the final straw for me in viewing this president’s intentions to mislead and deceive the American people. Obama orchestrated this “tax” document and has shaken this country intending to deceive the American public with a healthcare bill that is dominated by taxation principles.

To the editor:
After eating at Tony’s Bar-B-Que Barn after a group motorcycle ride to Lawrenceburg on June 20, my motorcycle would crank but not start.
Tony Howard, the owner of the restaurant whom I’d never met, saw what was going on and asked if he could help. We informed Tony of the problem and he proceeded to empty the bed of his pickup truck.
Tony, I and several friends from Southeast Christian Church in Louisville loaded my bike onto his truck, and Tony drove me to Louisville and dropped me off at home.

To the editor:
I spent the past week working with the Kentucky Changers in Lawrenceburg and at Open Hands Food Pantry.
I have never worked before, giving food to the needy. It truly blessed my heart.
I had the privilege of praying with 60-plus families and passing out prayer rocks.
Please, Anderson County, donate food and money to the panty. Director David Montgomery is doing an awesome job, but he needs your help because he can’t do it alone.

To the editor:
I read your column in last week’s paper about the way our property taxes are divided and think most of us can agree that while the library is very useful and we all love it, the expense is outrageous.
This is a classic case of abuse of our tax money. I recently went to a library board meeting and it took me about five minutes to identify the problem. It’s the board.
These folks are doing the best they can, but there are no accountants, bankers business owners, etc., on it.
The library tells them what she wants and gets it.

To the editor:

Together the team helped raise $360 and increase awareness to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against this disease.

To the editor:

No veteran has ever had to pay for his or her name to be placed on the Veterans Wall.
Donations may be mailed to Veterans Wall of Honor, P.O. Box 672, Lawrenceburg, KY 40342.

To the editor:
I read sports editor’s column in last week’s paper about his concern for the expansion of Kentucky High School Athletic Association sports.
The column leaves the reader thinking the KHSAA is on a tear, adding new sports right and left.
In fact, until this year the KHSAA has not sanctioned a new sport for member schools since 1978. It has in fact been a long drought when it comes to adding popular and accessible sports in high school athletics.

To the editor:
This letter is in response to the article in the paper on May 16 regarding “Angry Beasmores demands answers.”
First and foremost, I am confused as to why the Beasmores are demanding answers to questions when they already have been informed of the answers. Ms. Beasmore attended the court proceeding regarding the Marrs property. Everyone at the proceeding learned that this property is in litigation to dissolve a business partnership, and that it is up to the court to make a decision regarding what happens to it.
